The Lag Meister

[zebra]

I literally have about 3" between the turbo outlet and the shock tower, no straight reducers will fit

I'll sort something out when this rain goes away lol

[BOZ22N]

Weld an end on it and get the dam thing running

[tweety bird]

i see, when i got my t78 it had a 3'' 90deg bend welded on it, i know why now.

[MBS206]

Can't you rotate the housing?

I know on the TD07S it was a matter of loosening the circlip and just rotating the front cover...

[xALmoN]

hurry up and weld it on.

Zing!

haha, out of money atm,

rego and a $500 buck electricity bill

[BOZ22N]

You know what you got to do, out on the corner and sell that ass

[zebra]

Shake Shake Shake

So anyhoo Ive had the t78 on ebay for a few days now...just to see if there is any intrest..and because it looks look bloody hard to get it all to fit in nicely...and yep...reserve has been met

Sooooo on the hunt for something that is maybe a bit more responsive on the 1jz....thinking maybe a PT6262...but dunno yet...will see what happens I guess

[Craved]

good thing i didnt get a chance to cut that flange for you lol

[zebra]

hahaha....I just hit the call button on my mobile when I read this

[xALmoN]

if you've got time to come on sau, you've got time to work on that car!

[zebra]

lol...well 2 hours later the turbo oil drain is fitted....sounds like a simple job yes......LOL

1JZ Soarer = same a TT 300ZX lol

had to take out a steering rack mount bolt, turn it upside down, so the bolt head faces the sky and make up a washer for it.

Looks like the oil drain kit I bought is for a front or rear sump JZ and not the mid sump engine....oh well...its in now...goes around infront of the bottom radiator hose to make sure it clears the manifold (plus its a bit long)

Also discovered the front crank seal is leaking a bit (common JZ problem) so I am covered in oil after being under the car.

Now just have to elongate the holes in the manifold flange (lol flange) which will be fun using my pissy little dremel on stainless....mind you I have ported cast iron heads using it lol

The 6262 exhaust wheel will choke before you can benefit from the high flow front wheel.. I doubt you'll be able to run 30+psi on a gt35 sized exhaust wheel.. Id go straight to the 65 rear wheel and deal with a few hundred extra lag.. What gearbox you running?

[zebra]

Standard Auto Trans for now.

I wasnt really concerned abooooot the 62mm rear wheel, I am more worried about the small split housing.

But how much more lag will the 6266 have? At this stage it looks like the 6262 will only be 500rpm in front of the t78

Will only be turning to 7200rpm until I can build an engine....then It will go OVER 9000! (well more like 8000 lol)

Hmm more research needed

[Ryan1200]

As Lith mentioned in the precision thread plain bearings aren't known for reliability if I was going to run low boost I'd just go with something tested like a 3582.. If you have plans of building the motor I'd scarifices a small amount of lag increase and get the 65 rear then you have the option of turning it up later. If you go 6262 your limiting yourself for a few hundred rpm spool..

[Ryan1200]

Best thing iv done to my mz12 2j powered Soarer was a Mv shift kit it's pretty easy to live with and gear changes under power were 1000% better!!

yeah, just found a few results of 6265s making 400+kws and reasonable response, so might be the go

MV kit I will probably get...but I am hankering for a manual box, so time will tell what i'm going to do there.

[Ryan1200]

If your into drifting or circuit the auto probably isn't a good option but for cruising the streets or drags the automatic is so much faster compared to the manual.. MV 3.2 stall and the shift kit = win

[zebra]

I do like corners more than drag strips these days lol.

I think I have decided on a PT6262 though, and will just wind boost into it until it stops making power...the auto will go pop before the turbo gets into its stride anyway. and 6262s have run 8s in EVO's so we shall see

+ I still have standard cams and head so a 6266 will be wasted on this engine.

will go something silly big if I build a 2J
